The Twelve Caesars by Michael Grant

Grade:  used in Veritas at 7th grade but I personally believe it is for a more mature reader of the high school level through adult

Summary:  The personalities of the twelve caesars of ancient Rome have profoundly impressed themselves upon the world. They formed the theme of that most readable of biographers, Suetonius. 

He gathered much of his information from eyewitnesses, checked his facts carefully and quoted conflicting evidence without bias. But this is only one part of a general attempt to discover what sort of men these astonishing Caesars were. 

They bore the perilous responsibility of governing an empire comparable in its gigantic magnitude and diversity to the United States today. 

Discover how these potentates wielded such vast might, and about the men who advised them, coped with their tasks, or failed to cope with them
